FAQs

Tuition is already high, why doyou ask for donations?

Tuition at ITC is not cheap. The same things that make the ITC experience so special for our children – two lead teachers in each classroom, lovely outdoor play spaces, special programs – are also expensive. So, given that tuition is at the level that it is, why does ITC ask families for Annual Appeal donations on top of this? Believe it or not, even though tuition is high, it covers only about 90 percent of the cost to educate each child. The remainder―approximately $1,000 per student―comes from the Annual Appeal, the auction, grants, and other fundraisers.

This is our family’s lastyear at ITC. Why should we donate?

Annual Appeal donations are put to work immediately in the school to benefit current students. Furthermore, many ITC families recognize that their children are benefiting from the generosity of families who have donated in the past—the Annual Appeal provides them with the opportunity to keep this cycle going. Departing families have the possibility to donate their $400 enrollment deposit to ITC —HOW DO THEY DO THIS?
